The
Triadic Heart of Siva: Kaula Tantricism of Abhinavagupta in the Non-Dual
Shaivism of Kashmir This magnificent piece of literature contains wisdom so
deep, so clear and so intellectually developed I am sometimes unable to read
more than a sentence or two before I am plunged into a space of unrelenting
power. Each sentence has been carefully worded as to not waste even one second
of the student's time in speculation or controversy. It's as if Abhinavagupta,
with his expert hands, surgically removes our ingorance of Shiva, in so doing,
he leaves us unable to experience anything else! "The heart of Siva is not a
static or inert absolute, however. In fact, the non-dual Kashmir Shaiva
tradition considers it to be in a state of perpetual movement, a state of
vibration in which it is continuously contacting and expanding..." The Triadic
Heart pg. 82. Reviewer: Telema Graham from USA
Dancing With Siva: Hinduism's Contemporary Catechism This remarkable
1,008-page sourcebook covers every subject, answers every question and quenches
the thirst of the soul for knowledge of God and the Self. Clearly written and
lavishly illustrated, expertly woven with 600 verses from the Vedas, Agamas and
other holy texts, 165 South Indian paintings, 40 original graphics, a 40-page
timeline of India's history and a 190-page lexicon of English, Sanskrit and
Tamil. In producing this modern catechism, or prasnottaram (literally,
"questions and answers"), we kept in mind the need to provide resources so that
Hindu institutions and communities around the globe could have, at their
fingertips, authentic teachings from which they could locally develop classes
and courses and various kinds of study. We encourage scholars, pandits, swamis
and elders everywhere to work with us in translating Dancing with Siva into many
of the world's more than 3,000 languages.
othing Exists That Is Not Siva: Commentaries on the Siva-Sutra, Vijnanabhairava,
Gurugita, and Other Sacred Texts This book is composed of brief commentaries
by Baba Muktananda of individual lines of various sacred texts as noted in the
title. Sometimes it may only be a paragragh or two; sometimes a page. But I
found this simple format and these brief explanations to be profoundly moving
and enlightening. As I would read a commentary, and I would only read a few a
day, I would find myself drawn naturally into a profound contemplative
orientation towards my thoughts and actions and notions about myself and my
life. It always felt very healing and as if unnecessary burdens were dissolving
on the spot. I would at times be moved to tears of gratitude, to meditative
silence, to joyful realizations. This book is indeed food for the heart, soul,
and mind. It is alive with blessings. It is literally, not metaphorically alive,
and if you relate to it with care and attention, you will find yourself in a
sacred and precious relationship. Reviewer: jelias25 from Seattle, Washington,

Babaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition (4th edition) : The first
authoritative biography of Babaji, the immortal master made famous by
Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, an all-time best-seller. Babaji lives today
near Badrinath, in the upper Himalayan mountains. His body has not aged since
the age of sixteen, when centuries ago he attained the supreme state of
enlightenment and divine transformation. This followed his initiation into
scientific art of Kriya Yoga by two deathless masters, the siddhas Agastyar and
Boganathar, who belonged to the "18 Siddha Tradition", famous among the Tamil
speaking people of southern India. This rare account, by a long time disciple,
reveals their little known stories, ancient culture and present mission, as well
as how their Kriya Yoga can be used to bring about the integration of the
material and spiritual dimensions of life. A book which will inspire you.
